Fabric Yo Yo Tutorial~

1) Taking a needle and thread {with a knot at the end} start a running stitch. Fold over that outside edge to the inside about a 1/4” and then do the stitching. This will hide the raw edge inside the yo-yo perfectly. Continue stitching all the way around the circle.

2) Pull the thread tight cinching up the center.

3) Cinch the center tight and take the thread to the back. Stitch a few times {it won’t show} and tie a knot.

*If you don’t want the thread to show on the backside, hide the knot inside the yo yo.

4) Fiddle with the shape until the hole is centered and all the edges are pushed out.

If you have a bunch of them all sewn up….. here’s a quick how to– applique yo yo’s.

Now that you have your Fabric Yo Yo all sewn up….how about making a few mongo ones for a yo yo pillow project!

What size of yo yo is your favorite? What kind of projects do you have with them?
